    This is so cool to see, I just recently bought mine I use it for my B cam when filming events and I also use it with my gimbal to get creative crane shots. And don't get me started about the quick release feature. It's an absolutely great tripod I might do a review on mine soon.

    I can't wait to get the new wider base with the locking foot lever option to go on my two Cobra 2 monopods. They were always great but the extra stability on the wider feet will be a great addition and the foot lever with the auto centering/locking feature makes it probably perfect.

    Great review, Jake! This looks like the monopod to get, especially like the versatility of it breaking down into a low angle tripod, cool!

    Thanks for the nice overview! I love the lever locks but sometimes it feels I'm mostly alone in this, though these are really nice IMO. Had a little issue with mine where a freak gust of wind cost me a camera lens, so I'm a bit more squeamish now... 🤙

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  Před rokem +1

      yikes! yeah I don't leave it alone if there is wind and if there is a breeze I am never far away. I had a tripod get blown over once and it cost me a rear screen

    I have 3 v2 monopods but they all have a problem of the ballhead getting stuck seemingly for no reason. Even the unused ones have that problem. I need more reliable system for filming disc golf. Trying out Manfrotto this season but I would like to know should I give these V3's a chance. Does anyone know has there been some improvements done regarding the ballhead system?

      You can use any ball head that has a 1/4 or 3/8 thread on the bottom. I am doing exactly that with mine!

    Im curious - which of the new versions do you prefer? The pedal version seems cool but I saw that it has a limited range of motion compared to the original version. Not sure if thats a big deal. What do you think? Thanks

    I noticed that you were "snapping" everything together when you went low mode, or adding your fluid head. Is that included with the monopod, or is that separate? If separate, what is it called?

      The fluid head is separate and its the Komodo K5 also from iFootage

    Jake I have a fluid-head that Im happy with that I swap back and forth from my (janky) monopod to my tripod. So buying the v3 should be helpful - is the ifootage fluid head worth buying with it.
